Arsenal vs Norwich: Why Mesut Ozil and Matteo Guendouzi are left out of squad

Mesut Ozil and Matteo Guendouzi are both missing from Mikel Arteta's Arsenal squad to face Norwich City.

Standard Sport understands Ozil is out injured with a back problem, thoug Guendouzi missed out despite being fit and available to play.

Guendouzi has fallen foul of Arteta due to his behaviour this season, with the midfielder escaping a three-match ban after grabbing Neal Maupay by the throat during Arsenal's recent 2-1 defeat at Brighton.

The 21-year-old's future at the club remains unclear, with plenty of interested parties this summer.

Arsenal: Martinez, Mustafi, Luiz, Kolasinac, Bellerin, Ceballos, Xhaka, Tierney, Nelson, Lacazette, Aubameyang

Subs: Papastathopoulos, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Cedric, Pepe, Willock, Nketiah, Macey, Saka

Norwich: Krul, Aarons, Godfrey, Tettey, Lewis, Trybull, Emi, Rupp, McLean, Cantwell, Pukki

Subs: Vrancic, Hernandez, Stiepermann, Drmic, Duda, McGovern, Idah, Martin, Thomas

Referee: Peter Bankes
